A tourist with a severe nut allergy was left terrified after a pecan pie was ready to be served as a dessert on her flight.
Josie North told Virgin Atlantic attendants of her allergy and was assured no nuts would be served on the plane from Los Angeles to London Heathrow. However, just 15 minutes into the 10-hour journey Josie spotted the nutty dessert offering on the menu, and immediately called over an attendant.
The 28-year-old Brit, who is allergic to all types of nuts, said today: "I felt sick to my stomach. There was a chance I could die if that many people around me were eating nuts all at once, reports the Mirror.
"I told him [the attendant] there was just no way this pecan pie could be served. This was a very scary situation for me.
